Ch. 8— Busted
Angel and Scamp awoke the 次 日 to find it sunny and light. When Scamp woke up, he cheered, “Hee-hee-hee! They haven’t found us yet!”
“Good job, tenderfoot!” エンジェル giggled. “Now it’s time to find a family!”
Angel, at once, moved to a lamppost at the corner of the street, watching the cars and pedestrians pass by. She stared at each car and pedestrian that moved with 子犬 eyes. “Somebody will come to adopt me,” エンジェル stated insistently.
“Can’t we have some fun?” Scamp asked, as he eventually got up and followed her.
“Okay then,” エンジェル told him excitedly. They did a lot of things to pass time. Scamp tried to improve his 通り, ストリート trick technique, to no avail, and エンジェル corrected him with some teasing affection. The two of them went to steal some hot イヌ for lunch, and, not being caught, went back to standing on the 通り, ストリート to look for an owner. “When we find a family… hopefully we’ll find one that will not enforce dumb rules and go to bad shows like yours,” エンジェル gleefully stated as they continued to sit.
But the afternoon felt no better. The drivers and pedestrians passing によって gave hardly any attention または thought to Angel, who became less and less enthusiastic as the 日 wore on with no success.
Discouraged, エンジェル told Scamp, “Come on tenderfoot… let’s go,” as they walked further and further away from home. As dusk fell, the two of them found themselves in a part of town that even エンジェル never saw before. It was dark, and with plenty of tall, multi-story buildings. On a couple signs, Scamp read the term, “Hotels”.
“These are the places where these snobby showers go to stay,” Scamp groaned.
“At least we’re far off from your parents,” エンジェル told Scamp fervently
The two of them rounded another corner, and there, they noticed…
“Oh no, it’s Buster!” Scamp groaned as エンジェル gasped.
Buster was clearly and unmistakably there, looking malicious and very satisfied about something. Looking delighted was a small white 子犬 with black spots and a patch on his eye, he looked up at Buster adoringly with great excitement. Two other puppies, also white with black spots followed, but less enthusiastically. All three of them were wearing collars.
Scamp and エンジェル moved behind a set of bushes, but によって then, it was too late. Buster then loudly stated, “All right Patchy… if あなた do want to be a junkyard dog, あなた have to go get me those two 子犬 that went in the bushes to the right,” Buster told the 子犬 with the patch.
“Why?” the 子犬 with the patch asked.
“Because if あなた don’t, they’ll go tell on you. They know your parents,” Buster answered maliciously. “Drag them over, and then I’ll take care of them.”
The 子犬 with the patch nodded, and Scamp and Angel, cornered with a ウォール and trapped in the bushes, were too slow to move. The 子犬 with patch moved in the bushes, looked on either side of him, and then growled at Scamp and エンジェル when he noticed them at last.
“So, there あなた two are,” the 子犬 with the patch growled. “Trying to find us, are you?”
“What?” Scamp asked. “Your… parents?”
“Get out, または I’ll make you!” the 子犬 with the patch demanded.
Deciding to take the risk, Scamp and エンジェル walked out, and Buster looked delighted. “Well, well, well, Patchy-boy. あなた passed your first test… now, it’s my turn!”
But then, エンジェル blustered out, “Don’t listen to him at all!”
The 子犬 turned, and she stated nervously, “I was part of his little group beforehand… and he really is horrible!”
Scamp added, “We’re runaways ourselves! We don’t even know your parents!”
One of the other spotted puppies, with spotted ears generally but mostly white, stated quietly, “You know Patch, how would they know your parents?”
“Don’t ask questions!” Buster roared at the 子犬 with the spotted ears.
“Listen!” エンジェル protested. “He did the same thing to Scamp over here as he’s doing to you!”
“That’s enough, Angel-cakes!” Buster roared, and then he moved in to attack エンジェル and Scamp. The spotted 子犬 gasped, but then, they were interrupted…
“Wahoo!” came a loud, carrying voice. “A-ha! There are some もっと見る hoodlums!”
“Oh no!” Scamp gasped.
Behind them, came the dogcatcher, who drove in his car and drew closer and closer to Buster and the puppies.
Buster himself ran off far ahead, leaving the 子犬 with the patch to ask, “Wait? Where’re あなた going?”
“To save myself,” Buster stated. “Buster’s trouble is Buster’s trouble, just like yours, Patchy. That’s the essential モットー of being a junkyard dog.”
“But…” the 子犬 with the patch began, but as Buster faded, エンジェル added, “You see? He did that to him too once,” エンジェル indicated toward Scamp.
“And the dogcatcher is dangerous too,” Scamp added worriedly. “He attacks any 子犬 without a 襟, 首輪 like us.”
However, エンジェル had a look of terror in her eyes, Scamp turned, he did too, and abruptly, they were both lifted into a net.
“There ya go! I never thought I’d see あなた two again! Full speed ahead!” the dogcatcher cried. But the spotted 子犬 abruptly jumped from the sidewalk and chewed open the net.
“Hey there! Five against one’s not fair!” the dogcatcher screamed, but によって then, the car went far enough ahead to notice Buster, who was lying relaxingly on the street, gazing excitedly at the truck.
“Ah, I hope all of those little house イヌ are in there,” he stated devilishly.
The dogcatcher, however, came out, with a very large net. Buster stated, “Well, well, well… he thinks he can fight me.”
But then, the dogcatcher cackled, “A-ha! あなた again! あなた won’t be able to get away from this net! It’s a foolproof solution! Ha!”
Buster gasped, and then he realized he was caught. He tried to bite at the net, but this net was too strong. After some effort, the catcher lifted him in the back.
エンジェル , Scamp, and the 子犬 peered their heads out of the bushes. Buster just noticed them.
“Hey Scampster! Patchy! Angelcakes!” he roared at them. “I can use some help!”
“Yeah, and you’d leave me out there like that,” the 子犬 with the patch told Buster contemptuously. “No thanks.”
“Oh, come on!” Buster roared, but エンジェル shook her head. “Sorry Buster… but あなた deserve it.”
The dogcatcher rolled off, cheerfully humming as Buster glared at them in the back seat.
“Wahoo!” Scamp cheered as he left the bushes. “No もっと見る Buster または dogcatcher to deal with today, haha!”
Angel and Scamp awoke the 次 日 to find it sunny and light. When Scamp woke up, he cheered, “Hee-hee-hee! They haven’t found us yet!”
“Good job, tenderfoot!” エンジェル giggled. “Now it’s time to find a family!”
